Installed the PC version and it looked quite good. Unfortunately after about 30 minutes playing it locked up on me. I haven't tried playing since but I definitely plan on revisiting the game for some more shooter action.

I had a lot of complications while downloading, installing, and running but once I got it up and running I enjoyed it. I really suck at PC FPS's tho. I think I'm going to use a program called MotionInJoy and hook a PS3 controller up to it. : )

I downloaded it for PS3 as well. The difference in graphics quality is staggering. I knew it would be different and I know it's only a beta but the PS3 version doesn't look as good as Bad Company 2 does imo. The graphics are hardly comparable.

Obvious bugs and glitches are plentiful. I'm surprised the beta has as many as it does, some seem like things that would have been fixed long ago. (i.e. crawling prone in grass and sinking 3 feet into the terrain where you can see thru the map and players doing headstands when lying prone next to each other...) Also, the lack of vehicles kinda sucks but overall I'm still looking forward to it.

Seems to lock up every time I play it. No issues with my computer performance or OS stability as I can tab out instantly and do whatever I want (like my PC cares about running BF3). Anyways the awesomeness of the beta shows when it starts saying "Error: You must have xxx.xx graphics driver - please update before playing" then the error closes and the game starts. I would be fine with this message but that driver isn't even out for my card yet (560M). Perhaps the driver issue is the root cause of my problems but I won't know that until nVidia gets on the release...

Graphics are great on Ultra and I cannot believe you're surprised by the difference...consoles are shit computers - always have been always will be.

I am seeing very little difference in graphics between low and ultra settings on pc, so I am thinking the graphics are locked for the beta. This weekend is the first time I have been able to play without the having the drivers stop responding. So far though I think its awesome, I am having alot of fun playing it.

You guys may or may not have seen that amd and nvidia have beta drivers out for the game. I am running the amd 11.10 preview drivers and they seem to be working pretty well so far.

From the first day of playing the beta until now I have seen a very significant increase in how well the game runs on my rig, it was nearly unplayable the first day and now it runs great in 80% of the map. I still get a good drop in fps in the city part of the Metro map compared to the park and subway sections.

Your on 1080p?

I had it on 720 to begin with, couldn't tell a difference in the other changes. Then for kicks I moved my 46" living room TV into the PC room for the full 1080 effect and it was very noticeable. I had some screen tearing problems but I needed to see what it was like.

I am awesome.

I wasn't holding up too well with the keyboard controls. So I used a program (MotionInJoy) that I used to play N64 emulators in order to set up the PS3 controller for PC BF3 usage. It worked wonderful. It was just as if I was playing on PS3, with sensitivity and deadzone controls to boot.

But then... I felt my confidence go up with my movement speed and agility however I was losing the aiming battles due to mouse > joy stick. (Duh.)

So... I reworked the PS3 controller config and I am now using my right hand to aim, fire, jump, grenade, and switch weapons with the mouse. My left hand is holding the left side of the PS3 controller; Using the stick to move, L1 to sprint, L2 to crouch, L3 to go prone... Dpad: down is reload, left is toggle fire mode, up is interact, right is melee, select is use gadget, PS button is map, and start is score.

FUCKING AWESOME!

REALLY REALLY FUCKING AWESOME!

I also just downloaded 2011 rosters for NFL2K5 on a thumbdrive and updated a 6 year old football game on PS3 that is easily > any version of Madden ever made. Because I am really fucking awesome. (<- period.)

The time has come.

I am "fear_my_ego" on Origin. If you have it, add me.

name thief

Please... I've had that tag since 6th grade Age of Empires, MSN Gaming Zone.

So, I've had it since the dawn of time itself, I used it as my login for my mark 600 DD TARDIS and only ever taught it sexy alien women, and passed down my familiarity with the name in my genetic code whenever I banged one of them...

oh shit...

Great great great great great great great great grandson? is that you?
